Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN Reviews

The main use case is as an enterprise network for the user working in the office and for guests.

This solution has provided reliability and a good price for my organization.

The most valuable feature is wireless connectivity.

I've been using this solution for two to three years.

This is a scalable solution.

The quality of technical support varies, sometimes it's very good, sometimes not.

I also work with Cisco Wireless LAN. We choose to work with Meraki because we are familiar with the technology from selling the solution.

The initial setup is quite straightforward. In general, setup should not take more than one or two days.

Licensing is available on a yearly basis. A higher subscription fee may be necessary if extra features are required.

Cisco Meraki is quite reliable and provides good support, on a par with other brands. It also requires less time to implement and maintain the network, and it can save running and operating costs. I would rate this solution as seven out of ten.

We use Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN for enterprise wireless and hospitality wireless. We're using it to cater to all customer needs.

The cloud manageability feature is valuable. We can access it from anywhere. We don't have to get customers remote connections, we can simply log in using the internet, and they're easy to manage.

It would be better if they enable full integration with Cisco's cloud-based network in the next release. A couple of years back, we did an integration with Cisco Identity Services Engine. There we had some integration issues. Cisco had access in the portfolio, but Cisco Wireless wasn't fully compatible with that integration. If we sell Meraki, we can't promote some other Cisco products because there's a clash. 

I've been using Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN for around four years.

Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is a stable and reliable solution. We have a dedicated team to perform maintenance.

Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is scalable. We have some customers that own 100 branches and they're connected. There was no issue regarding scalability.

Cisco's technical support is good.

The initial setup is straightforward. It took us a few weeks to deploy, not much.

We implemented Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN as we're an integrator.

The price is on the high side when compared to Aruba. We pay for Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN on a yearly basis.

If you need a simple feature set, you can use Meraki basically without any issues.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN an eight.

We are implementors. We implement solutions for our clients.

All of the compliances are available with Cisco Meraki. For example, you have all of the HIPAA compliance. Cisco Meraki is HIPAA compliant.

Because of HIPAA compliance, it can be used in the pharmaceutical industries.

I like cloud-based monitoring.

The throughput of the switches for wireless could be improved. I am expecting more from it. The bandwidth should be improved. It should be increased.

We have been dealing with this solution for six months.

It's a stable solution. There are no issues with stability.

There is no problem with scaling. It's a scalable product.

We have recently provided a client the complete Aruba solution. It's both on-premises and on the cloud, for switching, for wireless, and monitoring. It is called Aruba Central.

I would rate this solution a seven out of then.

• Centralized management
• Easily configurable

We implemented Meraki APs across our 5 offices in USA, UK, and India, and we can manage all of them from one dashboard. We have great metrics for bandwidth usage, easily finding out who is downloading movies. ;-)

Using Radius server for user authentication is very simple to configure, creating new SSID, and it has a great alerting system.

2 years

Deployment is very simple- just add the device to your dashboard, connect to the network, and it will automatically connect, update firmware, and update configuration to match with your others APs.

Nope

No

10

10, to get help you can open the case or just call them directly, give them your customer ID and boom, you are talking to the tech who can see all your devices.

Aruba, Ruckus - they are ok, but you need to spend more time to configure and their support is not even close to Meraki.

Can't be more simple

In-house

I think the Meraki APs are very cheap, I am using them even at home.

Don't waste time and money for the other solutions, only Meraki!

We are using Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN for enterprise access in our building.

I have been using Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN for approximately five years.

The stability of the Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is very good.

Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is a scalable solution.

We have approximately 300 people using this solution in my organization.

The technical support from Cisco is good, but they can improve themselves in some areas. Sometimes it takes a while to provide a solution or an answer to our problem.

The deployment of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN was simple. It took a couple of weeks to complete.

We have certified people that do the implementation of the solution.

The price of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is per unit and it has annual maintenance costs.

I rate Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN an eight out of ten.

We sell and provide technical support for the solution.

We have been using the solution for approximately three years.

I have found it to be stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have 15 employees and we provide support for the solution to our customers.

The price of the product could be cheaper.

I would recommend the solution to others, we have sold it to over 100 customers.

I rate Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN a nine out of ten.

This is a cloud-based solution that is easily managed. You can manage the visibility and the cloud controller.  

It's a cloud solution that we can access from anywhere, on a mobile phone or any device. We can connect to it, manage it, and we can configure it. It's simple, really easy.

The stability of this solution is not good. It needs improvement.

Operation-wise this solution has some problems and the functionality is not very good.

In the next release, I would like to see a third-party high tech center to connect multiple users to a particular network.

This solution is not stable.

This solution is still evolving and sometimes the authentication stops working and the client is not able to browse anything even though it is connected. It's quite an unstable solution. 

This solution is scalable. It's good and we have no issues.

Cisco's technical support is very good and better than other vendors.

I would rate this solution a five out of ten.

We have a small, growing company, and they're looking for a wireless capability to do typical office stuff, except that now, we're doing a lot more meetings on Teams and Zoom. We often have a setup where a few people in a conference room connect with remote workers on a Teams meeting. We've had some Teams and Zoom calls interrupted due to problems with the wireless and the wide-area network, as well as some other standard internet issues. Meraki is a decent solution for a small company, and we use it in a pretty typical way. We need Teams and Zoom to work, and we need a high level of security because we want our business to remain confidential.

My company has been using Meraki Wireless for several years, but I've only been involved for a year and a half.

I haven't interacted with technical support. I hire third-party technical staff, and they deal with all the actual support.

I rate Cisco Meraki Wireless eight out of 10. My suggestion to anyone looking to implement this kind of solution is to use a smart consultant. I use technical consultants to handle things like picking out a solution. So I have one guy who says Ubiquiti would be a great platform, and the other says they think Meraki is the best platform.
